EnglishSrikkanth suggests resting Bumrah and Hardik after win
After India’s thrilling 48-run win over New Zealand in the first T20I, former selector Kris Srikkanth had a surprising idea. He suggested resting stars like Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya for some matches. Abhishek Sharma dazzled with 84 runs, but Axar Patel's injury caused a brief scare. With the next match on January 23 in Raipur, India aims to keep their winning streak alive before the World Cup.
